Continuing a legacy of bold architecture, the Denver Art Museum commissioned architect Daniel Libeskind to design an expansion that would accommodate the growing collections and programs. The 146,000-square-foot Hamilton Building opened to the public October 7, 2006.
The Hamilton Building's design recalls the peaks of the Rocky Mountains and geometric rock crystals found in the foothills near Denver. "I was inspired by the light and the geology of the Rockies, but most of all by the wide-open faces of the people of Denver," says Libeskind. The building is covered in 9,000 titanium panels that reflect the Colorado sunshine.
